I would have disagree if DSG gearbox not in Japanese car yet is shit. Japanese car is good at make things cheaper than continental car. Everything today what Japanese car has has already been there in Continental car year before.
Hence Japanese have not found a way to copy DSG gearbox yet. They may say they don't need it. Only time will tell. Even today, Volvo and Ford and BMW is already starting to use twin clutch gearbox.
Let me try to justify my answer with history
In 1997
======

haha...
in malaysia... they only know 2 brand...
honda and toyota...
generally their guideline or standard is what that is being offered by honda and toyota...
if toyota did not use DSG, it means that DSG is shit... cuz to them, if it is good, it will be in a toyota... haha..
maybe what u should say between a V6 and 1.4 TSI should be engine refinement instead of driving dynamics...
cuz a V6 or an inline 6 engine is so so much smoother compared to an inline 4....
heck even the perdana v6 engine feels so smooth compared to my TSI...
but step inside the cabin is heaven and earth different la...
as for FC, i personally feel that my VW has better FC then the civic 2.0...
turbo nowadays is so so different from the turbo of yester-years... but unfortunately ppl mentality/thinking is still the same...
turbo = fuel guzzlers...
hahaa..
lets just see how much advancement the automotive world will have from now on and also how the market in malaysia will go next...
